Instead it authorizes the state of Texas to raise its own troops. Many kinds of men drift into the Texas Mounted Rifles. Some will love the Union, have lived too long under the gallant flag to turn their guns against it now. Such a man is Scout Sam Houston Cloud.... **MASSACRE AT GOLIAD** When Texas born Josh Buckalew meets Teresa, a beautiful young Mexican woman, it is love at first sight. But with the Alamo recently besieged and destroyed, Josh knows the war will allow no room for love. So Josh and other Texans come together to protect their land at Goliad from the Mexicans who have just targeted the Alamo. Will Josh stay to fight or will he follow his heart and take Texas away from all the bloodshed?
